The Barchart Chart of the Day is LPL Investment Holdings (LPLA). Â I found the stock by sorting the New High List for frequency in the last month, eliminated the stock that didn’t have positive gains in the last week and month and used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Â Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 11/11 the stock gained 27.42%.
